Overview

SPACE HAUC will demonstrate that high data transmission rates can be achieved by
using a X—Band Phased—Array antenna with an electronically steered beam on a CubeSat.



CONOPS

Immediately upon deployment, SPACE HAUC will power up and determine if it is spin
stabilized. If not, the Attitude Determination and Control System will stabilize the spin.
It will then determine if it is sun pointed, if not the Attitude Determination and Control
System will point SPACE HAUC at the sun. SPACE HAUC will then wait for a beacon
signal from the ground, upon receipt of the beacon, SPACE HAUC will take pictures of
the sun and transmit them down. The process of waiting for the beacon signal will be
repeated whenever the beacon signal is lost.


Materials

The CubeSat structure is made of Aluminum 7075—T6. It contains all standard
commercial off the shelf (COTS) materials, electrical components, PCBs and solar cells
except for the RF front end board and patch antennas which are custom designed. The
high—speed radio uses a ceramic patch antenna.




                                                                                         15


Hazards

There are no pressure vessels, hazardous, or exotic materials.

Batteries

The lithium—ion battery is charged with all the available power from the photo—voltaic
inputs that is not drained by the loads on the external power busses. The battery is
protected against voltage being too high or too low.

The software high voltage protection implements a constant voltage charge scheme that
will keep the battery at its maximum voltage. The full mode regulation works by
lowering voltage on the solar panel inputs, thereby only taking in the power needed.

The software low voltage protection is a four state system. Should the battery voltage
drop below 7.2 V, the battery hardware will switch to a ‘safe mode‘ configuration, which
allows for the switching off of all essential systems and leaves only a simple power
beacon running. Should the battery drop below 6.5 V, the software will switch off all user
outputs.




                                                                                         16


Section 3: Assessment of Spacecraft Debris Released during Normal
Operations

The assessment of spacecraft debris requires the identification of any object (>1 mm)
expected to be released from the spacecraft any time after launch, including object
dimensions, mass, and material.

The section 3 requires rationale/necessity for release of each object, time of release of
each object, relative to launch time, release velocity of each object with respect to
spacecraft, expected orbital parameters (apogee, perigee, and inclination) of each object
after release, calculated orbital lifetime of each object, including time spent in Low Earth
Orbit (LEO), and an assessment of spacecraft compliance with Requirements 4.3—1 and
4.3—2.

No releases are planned on the ELaNa—21 CubeSat mission therefore this section is not
applicable.




                                                                                         27


Section 4: Assessment of Spacecraft Intentional Breakups and Potential for
Explosions.

There are NO plans for designed spacecraft breakups, explosions, or intentional
collisions on the ELaNa—21 mission.

The probability of battery explosion is very low, and, due to the very small mass of the
satellites and their short orbital lifetimes the effect of an explosion on the far—term LEO
environment is negligible (ref (Lh)).

The CubeSats batteries still meet Req. 56450 (4.4—2) by virtue of the HQ OSMA policy
regarding CubeSat battery disconnect stating;

       "CubeSats as a satellite class need not disconnect their batteries if flown in LEO
       with orbital lifetimes less than 25 years." (ref. (b))



Limitations in space and mass prevent the inclusion of the necessary resources to
disconnect the battery or the solar arrays at EOM. However, the low charges and small
battery cells on the CubeSat‘s power system prevents a catastrophic failure, so that
passivation at EOM is not necessary to prevent an explosion or deflagration large enough
to release orbital debris.

The 6U CubeSat in this complement satisfy Requirements 4.4—1 and 4.4—2 if their
batteries at equipped with protection circuitry, and they meet International Space Station
(ISS) safety requirements for secondary payloads. Additionally, these CubeSats are being
deployed from a very low altitude (ISS orbits at approximately 400 km), meaning any
accidental explosions during mission operations or post—mission will have negligible
long—term effects to the space environment.

Assessment of spacecraft compliance with Requirements 4.4—1 through 4.4—4 shows that
with a maximum CubeSat lifetime of 3.9 years maximum, the ELaNa—21 CubeSats are
compliant.




                                                                                          28


Section 5: Assessment of Spacecraft Potential for On—Orbit Collisions

 Calculation of spacecraft probability of collision with space objects larger than 10 cm in
diameter during the orbital lifetime of the spacecraft takes into account both the mean
cross sectional area and orbital lifetime.

The largest mean cross sectional area (CSA) among the 13 CubeSats is that of the
SPACE HAUC CubeSat with solar arrays deployed.

             Equation 2: Mean Cross Sectional Area for Complex Objects

All CubeSats evaluated for this ODAR are stowed in a convex configuration, indicating
there are no elements of the CubeSats obscuring another element of the same CubeSats
from view. Thus, the mean CSA for all stowed CubeSats was calculated using Equation
1. This configuration renders the longest orbital life times for all CubeSats.

Once a CubeSat has been ejected from the NanoRacks dispenser and deployables have
been extended, Equation 2 is utilized to determine the mean CSA. Amax is identified as
the view that yields the maximum cross—sectional area. A1 and A; are the two cross—
sectional areas orthogonal to Amax. Refer to Appendix A for component dimensions used
in these calculations

 The SPACE HAUC (2.9 kg) orbit at deployment is 408 km apogee altitude by 400 km
perigee altitude, with an inclination of 51.6 degrees. With an area to mass ratio of
0.00398 m*/kg, DAS yields 3.9 years for orbit lifetime for its stowed state, which in turn

                                                                                         29


is used to obtain the collision probability. Even with the variation in CubeSat design and
orbital lifetime ELaNa—21 CubeSats see an average of 0.0 probability of collision. All
CubeSats on ELaNa—21 were calculated to have a probability of collision of 0.0. Table 3
below provides complete results.

There will be no post—mission disposal operation. As such the identification of all systems
and components required to accomplish post—mission disposal operation, including
passivation and maneuyvering, is not applicable.

The probability of any ELaNa—21 spacecraft collision with debris and meteoroids greater
than 10 cm in diameter and capable of preventing post—mission disposal is less than
0,00000, for any configuration. This satisfies the 0.001 maximum probability requirement
4.5—1.

The VCC CubeSat Aeternitas will deploy a petal—like drag brake, for the purpose of
providing data regarding drag effects upon its orbit. This feature does not increase the
probability of on—orbit collision. The ELaNa—21 CubeSats have no capability or plan for
end—of—mission disposal, therefore requirement 4.5—2 is not applicable.

In summary, assessment of spacecraft compliance with Requirements 4.5—1 shows
ELaNa—21 to be compliant. Requirement 4.5—2 is not applicable to this mission.

Section 6: Assessment of Spacecraft Post Mission Disposal Plans and Procedures

All ELaNa—21 spacecraft will naturally decay from orbit within 25 years after end of the
mission, satisfying requirement 4.6—1a detailing the spacecraft disposal option.

Planning for spacecraft maneuvers to accomplish post—mission disposalis not applicable.
Disposal is achieved via passive atmospheric reentry.

Calculating the area—to—mass ratio for the worst—case (smallest Area—to—Mass) post—
mission disposal among the CubeSats finds SPACE HAUC in its stowed configuration as
the worst case. The area—to—mass is calculated for is as follows:


                  Mean C/SArea (m")           a                 m         m
                  W =                             Area — to —       Mass (7('5)

                               Equation 3: Area to Mass


                                 0.0116 m = o 004m2
                                    2.9kg     _         kg

SPACE HAUC has the smallest Area—to—Mass ratio and as a result will have the longest
orbital lifetime. The assessment of the spacecraft illustrates they are compliant with
Requirements 4.6—1 through 4.6—5.

DAS 2.1.1 Orbital Lifetime Calculations:
DAS inputs are: 408 km maximum apogee 400 km maximum perigee altitudes with an
inclination of 51.6° at deployment no earlier than April 2018. An area to mass ratio of
~0.004 m*/kg for the SPACE HAUC CubeSat was used. DAS 2.1.1 yields a 3.9 years
orbit lifetime for SPACE HAUC in its stowed state.

This meets requirement 4.6—1. For the complete list of CubeSat orbital lifetimes reference
Table 3: CubeSat Orbital Lifetime & Collision Probability.

Assessment results show compliance.


                                                                                           33


Section 7: Assessment of Spacecraft Reentry Hazards

A detailed assessment of the components to be flown on ELaNa—21 was performed. (Data
provided for TechEdSat—8 in their submitted ODAR report was reviewed as well). The
assessment used DAS 2.1.1, a conservative tool used by the NASA Orbital Debris Office
to verify Requirement 4.7—1. The analysis is intended to provide a bounding analysis for
characterizing the survivability of a CubeSat‘s component during re—entry. For example,
when DAS shows a component surviving reentry it is not taking into account the material
ablating away or charring due to oxidative heating. Both physical effects are experienced
upon reentry and will decrease the mass and size of the real—life components as the
reenter the atmosphere, reducing the risk they pose still further.

An assessment of the components flown on TechEdSat—8 is contained in Reference J.

The following steps are used to identify and evaluate a components potential reentry risk
relative to the 4.7—1 requirement of having less than 15 J of kinetic energy and a 1:10,000
probability of a human casualty in the event the survive reentry.

               1. Low melting temperature (less than 1000 °C) components are identified as
                  materials that would never survive reentry and pose no risk to human
                  casualty. This is confirmed through DAS analysis that showed materials
                  with melting temperatures equal to or below that of copper (1080 °C) will
                  always demise upon reentry for any size component up to the dimensions
                  of a 1U CubeSat.

               2. The remaining high temperature materials are shown to pose negligible
                  risk to human casualty through a bounding DAS analysis of the highest
                  temperature components, stainless steel (1500°C). If a component is of
                  similar dimensions and has a melting temperature between 1000 °C and
                  1500°C, it can be expected to possess the same negligible risk as stainless
                  steel components.

                        *Requirement 4.7—1 Probability of Human Casualty > 1:10,000


If a component survives to the ground but has less than 15 Joules of kinetic energy, it is
not included in the Debris Casualty Area that inputs into the Probability of Human
Casualty calculation. This is why all of the ELaNa—21 CubeSats have a 1:0 probability as
none of their components have more than 15J of energy.

All CubeSats launching under the ELaNa—21 mission are shown to be in compliance with
Requirement 4.7—1 of NASA—STD—8719.14A.




                                                                                        36


Section 8: Assessment for Tether Missions

ELaNa—21 CubeSats will not be deploying any tethers.

ELaNa—21 CubeSats satisfy Section 8‘s requirement 4.8—1.




                                                           37
